The problem is that whoever wrote whatever driver you're trying to compile, has not kept it up-to-date for the latest kernel revisions. What actually is it you're trying to compile, maybe there's an easier solution?
Tejas,
OK, I contacted Logitech to purchase a webcam for Linux. They reccomended a particular model and provided me with a link for the driver I needed. the link was qc-usb: Linux Driver for Quickcam USB cameras.html It is a kind of a manual. That directed me to a sourceforge location to download the driver, http://sourceforge.net/projects/qce-ga/files/ I downloaded it unzipped it and then tried to make it. Thus leading to my present frustration.
I think I saw someplace in the manual that there is a CVS version also. Would that be better? If I can find it and download it, that is.
PK, continuing on with my previous post. I did download a package from CVS andunzipped it. It contained 3 drivers. I compiled one called qc-usb. I didn;t get any errors this time (I think) and it produced? a driver named quickcam.ko, Only trouble is I can;t find it to do an insmod.
